Essentials of publishing a research paper: A journal editor’s perspective

When a journal editor reads a newly submitted paper, what things do they look for? What makes them decide to send one paper for review, but reject another paper immediately? A poorly written paper or misunderstanding of journal guidelines may mean you don’t get published in the journal your work deserves. This webinar should help you understand what journal editors look for and how to work with them through the publication process, to increase your chances of publication.

Authors are at the center of the whole academic publishing system. Yet their views tend to be underrepresented in industry conversations about journal publishing. What are the challenges authors face in getting published in international English language journals? How easy or difficult do they find communicating with journal editors? What do they think of open access? An ongoing Editage Insights survey gives authors globally a unique opportunity to answer these questions and express their opinion about various other aspects of academic publishing. This webinar will share interim survey findings based the responses of over 5000 authors.

Who is this for?
This webinar is a must for all involved in academic publishing—authors who write academic or scientific papers for publication in international English-language journals, journal editors, peer reviewers, research funders, and academic publishers and societies.

Knowing how to structure a scientific manuscript is half the battle won when it comes to engaging peer reviewers and readers alike. A manuscript that is poorly structured or gives the key message away too soon can often be overlooked when it comes to publication. This webinar will cover the essential aspects of structuring a scientific manuscript, including the Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion, and discuss best practices that can be followed to draft a more cohesive piece of writing.

It is never easy to get a foothold onto the academic ladder. And, maintaining that foothold requires one to have articles accepted by strong journals.
Some researchers seem forever to stumble and miss seeing the obvious. Professor Mcloughlin will share his experiences by pointing to some all-too-frequently encountered barriers to publishing success. From his perspective as a long-time journal editor, he will share ‘insider-knowledge’ about the most common mistakes made when submitting manuscripts. Errors can doom the prospects of a submission before it even gets sent out for full review. Sadly, slipups are equally a feature of veterans’ submissions as well as those new to publishing.
The webinar will draw attention to elements entirely different from those presumed by most authors to be important for generating a journal acceptance. Authors tend to focus on detail and ‘telling the story’ of their investigation. Editors focus on sharing big-ideas; on context, format & structure; on consistency with their journal’s mission; and with compliance to publishing conventions. Displayed in this webinar are the features sought by editors and by reviewers. It can be frustrating for editors and reviewers to receive submissions that have a kernel of clear value but with the value obscured by gaffes ~ simply because the author fails to perceive their work as an editor will see it.
Editors are less likely to gamble on an author who displays naivety and unsophistication in communicating their research. Gaining an editor’s confidence by delivering what is expected helps buttress the presumption that as an author you are competent and credible as a researcher. The basic message? Align your submission fully consistent with editorial-team’s expectations.

Choosing the target journal is undoubtedly a major challenge for many authors. Should you choose an interdisciplinary journal? A top-tier journal in your field? Or an open-access journal?

The popular impact factor should by no means be the sole factor in making this decision. The important questions are who the audience of your work is and where your work will create maximum impact!

The right time to decide on the target journal(s) is well before you finish a manuscript. And once you have decided on the journal, the next challenge is to navigate the editorial process—which seems like a black-box. Editorial processes rely on effective interactions between authors, editors, and peer reviewers. Having a basic understanding of these processes may save you months of time, by helping you avoid unnecessary revisions or even rejections.

This webinar will provide a practical guide on choosing the right target journal and will demystify editorial processes from the perspective an experienced scholar and journal editor.

Following the conventions of writing is integral for ensuring that your readers understand the message being conveyed.

This webinar will cover all important aspects of writing, including spelling, punctuation, and idiomatic usage, and discuss common writing errors to be avoided.
Who is this for?
This webinar is a must for those who write academic or scientific content in English. However, anyone who wishes to improve their writing skills or get a better understanding of writing conventions can attend the webinar.

Have you received peer reviewer comments suggesting that your manuscript should be revised by a native English speaker? Would you like some tips on how you can avoid such comments?

After all your research work spanning months and years, you have finally put down your invaluable results in a paper for peer review and publication. Transition from a hard-working data-gather to a skilled academic writer is by no means smooth!

How can you place your results within the broad context of your research area so that your peers will appreciate the merits of your work? How can you draft an effective abstract and an eye-catching title to make your paper stand out among others? How can you present sound logical arguments in the discussion and tie them up with the introduction? And most importantly, how can you write for readers instead of for yourself/your mentor?
